Outdoor Running Tips: Gear Matters!
January 17, 2012 by Lora
Filed under Fitness, News, Weight Loss
Over the last 26 years of my life that I have run I have only had one main complaint about running in the cold, and that would be - my hands get cold – not matter the gloves. But not any more! My aunt made these little “woolies” that I have been using and they have been wonderful! My hands are toasty warm (for once). No more painful “thaw-outs” in warm water.
Ya know, running outdoors is really very enjoyable and if the truth be told, I prefer to get outside in the cool crisp fresh outdoor air exploring the great outdoors then being stuck indoors on a “dreadmill”. But I find it does help to have the right gear. Another great thing that I could not do without in cold weather is my earwarmer/headband. These keep my ears warm and let the heat still dissipate from the top of my head. When it is snowing I like to wear my hat so I don’t “blink” myself to death. Another thing to consider while running in the snow is your shoes. I like to wear “trail running” shoes. These are usually a lot more weather proof than your regular “air-y” running shoes. These “trail shoes” also have better traction. If you have never given outdoor running a chance you might want to give it a try. Besides, if you are training for a race it is most likely run outside so the best training is to run outdoors too.
Run Happy,
